Medvedev warns of "grave consequences" if we don't fall in line

According to Russian Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev (he's the guy who Obama told to be patient because in his second term he will be "more flexible") the world is fighting a new Cold War. He said that if the West fails to cooperate with Russia's involvement in Syria and elsewhere, there will be grave consequences.

"We have slid, in essence, into times of a new Cold War," he said Saturday in Germany as he addressed senior international officials at a security conference. He referenced the Syria fighting as a situation where Russian-Western cooperation is vital, particularly on military issues and that cooperation was key.

"Military officials must be in constant contact. They should be calling each other 10 times a day," Medvedev said.

Russia has been helping Syrian president Bashar al-Assad militarily while we have been helping the rebels who are trying to overthrow the chinless leader. It's more of a lose-lose situation than anything else.

In the current talks, Russia and the United States are in a working group whose task is to determine what specifically needs to be done in order to effect a cease-fire in the Syrian conflict. 

In one group exercise, a Russian group member said to an American group member, "Trust me," as the American group member had to close his eyes and fall backwards, trusting that the Russian would catch him.

He didn't and the American crashed to the floor and his his head.

And that is what the Hillary reset button has accomplished.

Okay, I made the 'trust me-fall backwards' part up, but it isn't far from the truth.
